Can this item be mounted on a glass door? Industrial 2 way tape? HD velcro? Thanks!!

The normal installation puts a magnet on the top corner of the doorway while the unit is mounted on the top corner of the door with the top of the unit lined-up with the magnet. To mount the unit on a glass may require the frame on the glass door be at least 3 inches wide. The STI 6400 unit is 5.37 inches X 5.37 inches while the mounting holes on the unit are halfway between the top and bottom and parallel with the top of the door. If the glass doors frame or doorway frame is steel this could cause problems for the magnet or unit reed switch over a period of time.

I used it on a metal door but if you use industrial 2 way tape and know for sure that it will stay and not fall and break than Glass might work also. good luck.

Hi Don,don't see why not,only problem may be the vibration from the bealarm if it's set on high

Yes, if your doors are glass and not plastic. The company specifically recommends it on their website.

Sure, velcro with automotive quality 3M tape will work. The unit doesn't weigh much

I use the window suction cup mount as I knew the adhesive would not hold. I suggest going to a hardware store and buying a more adhesive tape and cut to size.

No way. I would not take that chance. At least not directly. Maybe if you did it the way I did by using two pieces of wood with the glass in between and mount on the wood, but otherwise, no.

I used Scotch double-sided exterior tape. Placed it along the edge of each piece and it adhered to the door well. It has held up since I placed it last summer.

Yes, you can use double sided tape or screw it in. Hopefully you have room to mount it on a flat surface as that would be better. Hope that helps.

Yes,I did....go to Home Depot or the like & get some 2 inch wide Industrial Strength Velcro & put a full ength strip top & bottom or even around all 4 sides & do the matching strips on your wall or wherever & you're good to go. Tip; once you apply the strips to the wall & to the Unit let both fully adhere over 24 hours say,before you mount the piece. Technically you don't have to but I find the Velcro sticky side adheres better long term if you don't immediately mount the Unit.Good Luck,CJ

About the only way I can think of it would be for you use double sided tape on the glass and add a lock that way, but I don't know how well that would work.

Yes I am sure it could be mounted on the back of a door, as long as the door is strong enough to hold the screws properly and the weight when there is stuff hanging on the lines. The unit itself is not heavy. I hope this is helpful to you

No. It comes with a double sided sticky tape pad that works fine. You could also use some 3M VHB tape or similar. It's not heavy, so the tape should work fine. I went for overkill and used the tape and the screws.

Not sure. I haven't tried it on my glass door. I have glass tile and it works fine. I love it

The simplest answer is "No!" However, if I wanted to attach it to an aluminum door I would try 3M Very High Bond foam tape.

You could use heavy duty Velcro but when you try to adjust settings it might wiggle around it depends on how you mounted it. Be sure to mount the Velcro to the bracket not on the unit. Another way you could do it, is use 250 lb double sided tape again on the mounting mounting bracket. The big issue is where you mount it.

It's perfect for a sliding glass door. I have it on mine. You will install it between the door jamb & the immovable door. Works great!

It probably *CAN* be mounted to one, but depending on the thickness of the glass it may be a risky proposition. Both pieces that are in direct contact with the surface are made of metal. You might be able put cloth or some sort of material between the metal and the glass for extra protection.

For a secure installation you would want to anchor with bolts or screws. If you Velcro the mount it may come off with extinguisher when you go use it in an emergency. True industrial 3M grade Velcro may work but anchoring with fasteners is always strongest.
